Meet the Midwife
Hi, my name is Jesica and I am passionate about being a part of the miracle of birth.
If you are trying to find a midwife who will strongly advocate for a natural approach to childbirth and support you through a positive birthing experience, you have come to the right place.
Natural Birth!
My care philosophy is holistic, focusing on supporting women and her family throughout pregnancy, labour, and the postpartum period. I believe it is essential for women to be well-informed and actively involved in their own care. As an advanced midwife specialist, I prioritise a natural experience, intervening only when necessary
Empowerment and informed choices are crucial for a positive birth experience, setting the stage for a rewarding journey into motherhood. I respect and take into account your choices and believe in shared decision-making
I offer personalised, patient-centred care to all my clients, treating them with dignity and respect. Pregnancy is a joyful and natural process, and every woman deserves to embrace it fully. Each client is unique, and I celebrate that individuality. Through a
compassionate, woman-empowered approach, we help families achieve their birth wishes by fostering meaningful support. I strive to make a positive impact not only in the lives of my clients but also in their families.
My three children were all amazing, midwife-led, home birth experiences, which motivates me to make this option available to more women. I realised how crucial it is to find a midwife who offers empowering support, is compassionate, highly skilled and trained to assist during the natural process. A midwife that knows how to respond effectively in case of an emergency. I believe that by equipping women with knowledge, we can help them gain confidence in their bodies, whether it is during pregnancy, labour or breastfeeding
